Promitor™ Dietary Fiber

Well tolerated means gastrointestinal side effects are minimal. Our tests for tolerance include:

• Single high dose (25g)
• Chronic dose (12g for 14 days)
• Dose response (5 g, 15 g, 25 g)

All of these studies evaluated gastrointestinal side effects (cramping, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, belching, nausea, stomach noises) and found no side effects or mild side effects for PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber and PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch. Every human study we conduct monitors gastrointestinal side effects.

Yes, PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber and Resistant Starch have been shown to have prebiotic effects in model systems.

A prebiotic is a substance (typically a fiber) that feeds, or stimulates the growth and metabolism of “good” bacteria in the gut and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria (Source: International Food Information Council).

The US DRI is 25g/day in women and 38g/day in men. Labeling is based on the DV (Daily Value) of 25g

• Excellent (20% DV Fiber/serving)
• Good source (10% DV Fiber/serving)
• Added fiber

1. Fortified with fiber for a healthy digestive system
2. Dietary fiber supports the immune system/supports immunity
3. Boost your digestive system’s natural defenses with fiber
4. Contains X grams of prebiotic fiber

PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and meets the requirements of the GRAS Affirmation 21CFR184.1865 Corn Syrup

PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber has a typical analysis of approximately 70% total dietary fiber (dry solids basis) per AOAC method 2001.03.

The name “Soluble Corn Fiber” distinguishes the soluble fiber portion of corn syrup and therefore is consistent with the labeling regulations (21CFR102.5).

PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber may be labeled as “soluble corn fiber” or alternatively, it may be labeled as “corn syrup” or “corn syrup solids” depending on whether it is liquid or dry.

The Glycemic Response is approximately 1/3 that of readily digestible carbohydrates such as dextrose or maltodextrin.

PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber is extremely stable. Fiber content remains the same through extreme process conditions in low pH systems.

Yes, we have looked at PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber in cultured products and have not seen any loss of fiber content through pasteurization or fermentation.

Absolutely, PROMITOR™ Soluble Corn Fiber is extremely stable in low pH systems, much more so than other soluble fibers such as inulin.

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and meets the requirements of the GRAS Affirmation 21CFR182.1 corn starch.

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch has a typical analysis of approximately 60% total dietary fiber (dry solids basis) per AOAC method 991.43.

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch may be labeled as “corn starch.”

The Glycemic Response is approximately 10% that of readily digestible carbohydrates such as dextrose or maltodextrin.

1.7 Kcal/g (dry solids basis)

PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch is, by design, more thermally stable and more shear stable than any competitive resistant starch.

It is low in water holding and because the fiber is thermally stable it will survive harsh processes such as baking. That means that PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch will retain its low water holding property even during baking where, by comparison, other resistant starches or fibers can hold more water.

In fried products such as tortilla chips, corn chips, and batters and breadings, PROMITOR™ Resistant Starch has been demonstrated to reduce fat pick-up by as much as 25% when used at a level necessary to meet the “Excellent Source of Fiber” claim.
